Andromeda Ascending: The Third Human Diaspora

Book Cover

Andromeda Ascending:

The Third Human Diaspora 


In the far future humans have retreated from the Foe, which has exterminated  sentients throughout the Milky Way.  Only once has the Foe been defeated, and that was a close call.

Stragglers and survivors have colonized a sunless rogue planet, Argo, on the fringe of the galaxy.  Each morph group has its own story to tell.  Genetic engineering is high science.  Saviant Daron, Garron v’Harga de v’Cera, scion of the v’Harga clan, creates his life work, genegeneered twins, Janys and Jion.   

Daron has an implant, a Class 2 A, Belle.  Belle is emissary to the Starions, a space-faring race that inhabits neutron stars.  

Starions take an interest in Janys and Jion, especially Samantha, formerly human.

The story describes the lives of Janys and Jion, ranging from the Milky Way to far galaxies in the Local Cluster.  It is the epic of humankind in the Third Diaspora.


Review

Andromeda Ascending is an answer to "Why are we here" and "What are we, anyway" framed in the far future where these are more than philosophical questions.  This is a thriller, a far future exploration with soul and meaning.  The writing is tense and poetic in places, the characters are bold and unusual.  I enjoyed it!

IMMORTALITY BYTES:

Digital Minds Don't Get Hungry 


“Yay, free money and a life of leisure! Except… only if you never have children. Sure, a cute little version of you (but not yet so screwed up) sounds fun.

Sky Exile

 Book Cover




Lidia has one job: to convince the psychiatrist at the center of her criminal case that she really is telling the truth about her past lives, outside the scope of present-day New York. If she fails to win him over, the world as they know it will be overtaken by the influence of a fugitive from another dimension, capable of corrupting the minds of countless innocent people in its bid to destroy existence. If Lidia's story doesn't strike a chord with the doctor, the whole world may pay the price.

During the Middle Age's most turbulent era of strife, a colossal wall of white fire inexplicably spreads across Europe, burning everything in its path. Against his better judgement, a soldier named Maddock abandons his isolated life to lead a village of desperate survivors to the mountains where deep caves might protect them from the inferno's destruction. Scrambling to stay ahead of the fire, the group gets caught in the middle of a savage battle between two rival armies who've been forced to confront each other midst the chaos. Competing for the protection of the depths underneath Jagged Peak, the refugees come to realize that there are things in life far more dangerous than a ravenous fire. Below the surface, the machinations of a temporal anomaly responsible for the dimensional fugitive, threatens to tear their delicate world apart. The same exile Lidia fears may have broken through to the modern era. Unless they can survive long enough to find him inside the mountain, everything they hold dear may be at risk.
